Home/Surgical procedures/Upper and lower lid blepharoplasty
Upper blepharoplasty Upper blepharoplasty entails, after a careful and accurate estimate, the removal of a strip of skin of the orbicularis muscle and fat. The skin is very thin and so the scar is invisible since it is hidden within the furrow of the eyelid.
Lower transconjunctival blepharoplasty is recommended for young people who do not have excess skin or muscle, but only or prevalently excess fat. This type of blepharoplasty does not entail cutaneous incisions and the fat is removed through a tiny incision in the conjunctiva. It is therefore a scarcely traumatic procedure which is often combined with rhinoplasty.
Lower blepharoplasty In the blepharopasty of the lower eyelids, the surgeon makes an incision immediately below your lashes, vital in removing a strip of excess skin and excess fat. The orbicular muscle is tensed and secured to the orbit’s periosteum (membranes covering bony cavities). This procedure can be combined with ulterior surgical techniques that entail the detachment of the orbicular muscle of the cheekbone and the hanging of the muscle itself to the orbit’s vertical branch. In terms of appearance, this operation lifts the zigomatic region, fills the periorbital hollows and hence fills the medium third of the face, with a pleasing rejuvenation effect.
Upper and lower blepharoplasty surgery can be done during the same session.
